The
study of German will expose you to a rich and complex
culture that has contributed enormously to the history
of our world. At present, united Germany is - together
with France - in the center of the European Union, establishing
a new identity in a phase of transition after the fall
of the wall in 1989. The German language is not only the
language of the most populous nation in Europe, but also
increasingly the language of commerce in Eastern Europe
and Russia. A testimony to the literary importance of
German literature is this year’s Nobel Prize winner,
Austrian novelist and playwright Elfriede
Jelinek.
At Agnes Scott College, the German program has been thriving
for more than half a century. German has an established
major, double major and minor program. German has also
been a vital part of the Language Across Curriculum due
to the interdisciplinary interests of both the German
faculty as well as members of other academic departments
like History and Music. The program has been a recent
participant in the Global Connections program in 2002
with an offering on the study of the Holocaust in Europe.
The German program at Agnes Scott has a high success rate
of sending students on study abroad programs in German
speaking countries. Our German majors have been offered
Fulbright, DAAD and Rotary scholarships. Right now, German
graduate 2004 Michelle Los, is on a Fulbright research
scholarship in Bochum.
We would like to encourage you to study the language of
Martin Luther, Goethe, Kant, Marx, Kafka, Brecht, Hesse,
Mann, Heidegger, Grass etc. at Agnes Scott College. Please
contact Susanne Wagner
